Antonov, Alexander vs. Konopka, Jan-Frederik - Krefelder Summer Open 2024 1/2-1/2

In the Krefelder Summer Open 2024, held on August 1st, Jan-Frederik Konopka, playing with the black pieces, executed the move Qxc6. This move followed a previous capture and aimed to win material by eliminating an attacking piece. It involved an equal exchange of pieces and effectively forced a move from Antonov's piece. However, this decision did not address a superior threat chance and missed the opportunity to reveal an attack on a piece. By retaking the captured piece, Konopka managed to create a situation where multiple pieces were attacked simultaneously. Despite this, the move overlooked a chance to better protect an underdefended piece and did not capitalize on a possible development opportunity for more active play.
